The purification of Mary
The article discusses Mary's purification after Jesus' birth, a Jewish ritual observed by Joseph and Mary at the Temple of Jerusalem. This act of devotion and humility, recounted in Luke 2:22-24, demonstrates their faithfulness to the law of Moses despite their modest financial circumstances.
Luke 2.22-24 (King James Version) :And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
